Cumulative incidence of early bacterial infection at day 100 post-UCBT was 11% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8%-13%) for children and 21% (CI, 19%-24%) for adults (P < .0001). Early bacterial infection in adults had a significant impact on mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.1, CI, 1.7-2.6; P < .0001), although no significant risk factors were identified. Multivariate analysis identified older age group (6-10, and 11-15 years versus 0-5 years of age) at transplant (HR = 2.0 and 2.7, CI, 1.1-3.5 and 1.4-4.9; P = .020 and .002, respectively) as an independent risk factor of early bacterial infection for children. Early bacterial infection in children did not have a significant impact on mortality when adjusted. Of 315 bacteremia, 74% were caused by Gram-positive microorganisms. Pneumonia occurred in 39 patients including 13 cases of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia pneumonia. Early bacterial infection had a negative effect on survival for adults and the median day of development was 10 days after transplant, suggesting that the prevention of bacterial infection in the very early post-UCBT phase is important. 收起
